The SINOTRUK HOWO TX 8x4 371HP Truck-Mounted Crane is one of the best-selling heavy-duty crane transport vehicles in Central African markets, particularly in countries such as Cameroon.
Specifically engineered for high-temperature environments, unpaved road conditions, and heavy-duty infrastructure transport tasks, this model strikes an exceptional balance between lifting capacity, off-road stability, and maintenance costs.
It is ideally suited for applications in regions such as Douala and Yaoundé, including construction projects, power grid infrastructure development, and the inter-regional transport of heavy equipment.

What is a 16-Ton Truck-Mounted Crane?
The 16-ton truck-mounted crane is a heavy-duty 8x4 cargo truck equipped with a 371-horsepower diesel engine, a reinforced double-layer chassis, and a high-capacity XCMG straight-boom crane.
This truck-mounted crane features the following characteristics:
● Reinforced 8+8/300 double-layer frame
● Heavy-duty 16-ton dual-reduction axle (MCX16ZG)
● XCMG GSQS400-5 16-ton class, five-section boom crane
● High-temperature-resistant cooling system (EVB 71°C thermostat)
● 8-meter-long cargo box
Thanks to the aforementioned specifications, this model is ideally suited for continuous, high-load operational scenarios involving "self-loading, transportation, and unloading."

Infrastructure transport roads often involve:
● Unpaved laterite soil
● Muddy and uneven terrains
● Heavy load operations
● Long-distance transfers
The two-stage reduction axle and high gear ratio enable the output of substantial torque, aiding in extrication and hill climbing.
Central Africa experiences:
● High temperatures
● High humidity
● Dusty construction sites
The EVB system, reinforced 71-degree thermostat, and additional primary fuel filter improve durability and reduce engine failure risk.
Projects related to urban expansion and power grids require reliable equipment to lift and move heavy materials.
The HOWO TX 16-Ton Crane Truck is commonly selected due to:
● Stable 8.39-meter crane outrigger span
● Easy spare parts availability for both HOWO and XCMG
● Lower operational cost by combining transport and lifting in one vehicle
With a lifting capacity of 16 tons, it can effortlessly hoist machinery such as generators and power distribution cabinets; furthermore, its 8.39-meter cargo bed allows for the simultaneous transport of multiple pieces of equipment.
